My mother's house

My mother passed away 6 yrs ago, she did not have a will or any other documents that would will
Her house to any of her 8 children. She battled a long illness and was put into nursing homes before she
Passed, our attempt to get Medicaid failed due to her owning the home. My father has also passed, and for
Other reasons was not married to mom. The house in NY is owed back taxes approx $5000 nursing home bills
Approx $20,00. My older brother has been living in the home, can not afford the taxes.

My questions are what are the state laws, what actions will the state do ? if my brother wanted to purchase the home
What options are there?

Well there is only a way that he should be have to pay the taxes if he want to buy the home. And other thing that he should be make a written request to the local administration to remission in the taxes. This way it must be a way that administration make you free from taxes.
